NEW YORK – The National Basketball Association (NBA) and QuintEvents (Quint), a global industry leader in the curation of exclusive experiential fan packages at some of the world’s largest events, today announced a multiyear partnership that makes QuintEvents the Official Experiences Provider of the NBA.
